Message In The Middle

In this episode of Message in the Middle we are talking about an important topic that affects millions of women worldwide: menopause. Joining us is Lisa Boate, a Menopause Consultant, coach, and the host of Transforming 45 podcast. Lisa's dedication to guiding women through the challenges of midlife, particularly during the phases of empty nest and perimenopause/menopause, makes her an invaluable resource in this space.

We start by defining the basics: what exactly is menopause and perimenopause? Lisa provides clarity, setting the stage for our discussion.

Next, we delve into the symptoms. From night sweats to lesser-known symptoms like anxiety and lack of word recall, Lisa sheds light on what women experience during this transitional phase of life.

But it's not all doom and gloom. Lisa shares practical tips for minimizing these symptoms, emphasizing the importance of exercise, stress management, and quality sleep – the four pillars of well-being.

We address the myths surrounding hormone replacement therapy, debunking misconceptions and offering insight into its benefits.

We explore the importance of designing our lifestyles now for our future well-being. Lisa highlights the significance of "backwards engineering" our lives to ensure a fulfilling and healthy last decade.

And let's not forget about the workplace. As the founder of Liberated Menopause, Lisa explains why organizations should care about menopause and how they can create empowering workplaces for women.
